6 Months Old

Alyssa is 6 months old today! Her temparature was a bit high this morning.. grandma gave her the cold medicine..seems like she's doing fine except for her runny nose. It came back yesterday after cured for awhile. I've been quite busy as I started working last Friday..trying to adapt to this new lifestyle..working and leaving my baby at home with her grandma. Grandma said she kept wanting to be held up..doesn't like to be left alone. No tantrum so far, Alhamdulillah..only a weebit cries here and there.

Alyssa still refuses bottle feeding, so grandma had to feed milk to Alyssa using spoon. Alyssa started her solid food last Sunday on 3rd August 2008. I gave her 1 table spoon blended rice porridge (puree) mix with 1 table spoon EBM. Seems like she loved it and have no problem swallowing it. So far she onle eats once a day, in the afternoon that is. Later on I will increase the intake after observing her reaction for these few days.

As of Alyssa's developement at 6 months of age :

~ Her body is getting stronger, she's getting more active. Started to lift her body up but still hasn't acquire the skill of sitting. However, she could sit with support or while leaning to something as in her parent's body..heheh

~ She is in the process of mastering the skill of eating, drinking and chewing by practicing grabbing everything that cought her attention and mobile enough to be brought into her mouth. Everytime we eat, she wants to eat it too, everytime we drink, she wants to drink it too!

what else? urmm..too tired to form sentences.. will update later on when I have the time..it's going to be a busy weekend this week..it's my bro in law's wedding at the groom side..so we're gonna be busy
